Basic calculations
Like MATLAB, you can use Python to perform basic calculations. Most of the standard operators are similar between MATLAB and Python.
Addition | + |
Subtraction | - |
Multiplication | * |
Division | / |
Exponentiation | ** |
One crucial difference is the operator for taking a number to a power. In Python, the ^
operator does something else entirely… you'll need to make sure you use **
when you want to square a number.
